I don’t know what security check ICE agents have to pass through to access airports, but I hope it’s legit. Anyone can buy body armor online, and ICE patches can be purchased off Etsy.

@mcnado I've been out of the industry for quite some time, but I believe they are still required to get a criminal history check done by the airport to get an airport access badge. Need the airport badge to get beyond the checkpoint with prohibited items (weapons).

They could very easily be on the public (non secure) side of the airport with no check though.

Er, this appears to be yet another area where they are flouting the laws.

ICE Agents Will Be Allowed Behind Airport Checkpoints Without SIDA Badges — After Trump Reportedly Waives Badge Rules

ICE agents deployed to airports during the government shutdown are now expected to get access behind checkpoints without the SIDA badges normally required for unescorted entry into secure areas. That means bypassing the fingerprinting, background checks, and training airport workers usually need — a move that could weaken the challenge-and-report culture airports rely on to keep secure areas secure.

they want to set up an event that makes it easier for terrorists to destroy an airport or airline in hopes of getting everyone to rally around the neo-Nazi the way they rallied around Bambi after 911

it'll prob. work, used to be public knowledge that Bush was warned an attack was coming a month in advance & he chose to sit on his hands & let it happen to make people stop talking about the fact that he stole the 2000 election -- yet zero consequences
